中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社赫尔辛基路透社报道,芬兰生物燃料生产商和石油精炼商Neste周三表示,将通过14亿欧元(合16亿美元)的投资,提升其在新加坡的生物燃料生产能力。
芬兰拥有Neste公司44.75%的股份,近年来,由于其在全球的销量以及包括动物脂肪等废弃物和残留物在内的各种原料,Neste已成为可再生能源市场上的领先企业之一。
这项投资将使Neste的可再生能源生产能力从目前的每年270万吨提高到2022年的每年450万吨。Neste此前曾谈到将产能增加100万吨。
Neste在一份声明中表示:“这项决定是基于全球市场对运输、城市、航空、聚合物和化学品等领域的低碳解决方案需求的增长。”
"投资将加强我们的竞争优势,这是基于我们的生产和废物及残渣原材料使用的全球优化。"
Neste目前在新加坡、鹿特丹和芬兰的波尔沃生产生物燃料,它也在芬兰进行常规的石油提炼。新生产线将于2022年开工。
在格林尼治时间0806时,该公司股票上涨了0.9%。

Biofuel firm Neste to invest $1.6 billion in Singapore production
Finnish biofuel producer and oil refiner Neste said on Wednesday it will boost its biofuel production capacity in Singapore with a bigger-than-expected investment of 1.4 billion euros ($1.6 billion).
Neste, 44.75 percent owned by the state of Finland, has in recent years emerged as one of the leading players in the renewable diesel market thanks to its global sales and wide range of feedstock including waste and residues like animal fats.
The investment will boost Neste’s renewable production capacity to 4.5 million tonnes annually by 2022 from a current 2.7 million tonnes. Neste had previously talked about increasing the capacity by 1 million tonnes.
“The decision is based on a growing global market demand for low-carbon solutions in transport and cities, aviation, polymers and chemicals,” Neste said in a statement.
“The investment will strengthen our competitive advantages which are based on the global optimization of our production and waste and residue raw material usage.”
Neste currently makes biofuels in Singapore, Rotterdam and Porvoo, Finland, and it also does conventional oil refining in Finland. The new production line is due to start in 2022.
Shares in the company were up 0.9 percent by 0806 GMT.
